The Camera's power cuts in and out when the compressor kicks on
Unfortunately, I have not had a problem like this with the camera in my four years with the team. The camera signal cuts in and out and the light on the camera flashes green, red, and sometimes orange depending on the situation. And on occasion it turns completely red, and just shuts off. I am a senior in an electronics program at my high school, and I don't know what I could do to correct this problem without putting a COTS circuit in the robot with a buffer to pull the voltage to 5 volts. Is this legal? We are competing in New Brunswick NJ next weekend. If someone could please get back to me regarding this issue, that would be great.

Thanks
